Bella's POV

The sunrise was beautiful as I was looking out my window, sitting on a chair in my new chambers. It was two weeks after my wedding with my swollen belly at least a little bigger than a week ago, but not noticeable to assume. My husband, Emmett was talking to his servants at our new kingdom in the eastern part of England about my meals since I had more meals due to my cravings. He found out that I was with child, but he thinks it's his child.

I looked over to see the last letter Jasper wrote to me, which was few days ago. I haven't seen him since the guards were now guarding my bedroom and the bottom of the kingdom where my window cell was. I grabbed my letter to read it again, listening to his murmuring voice in my head.

My darling,

I thought of a way we could meet. Prince Edward is hosting a ball in his kingdom in a week. We'll just have to sneak away together to run away. I know we could do it, I assure you. I'm willing to leave my kingdom to Emmett while we elope to forest all around Europe to be safe. I know it's not safe in your condition, but it's the only possible way. Unless Rosalie hides us in your kingdom so her servants can help you when the time comes. Please try to find me at the ball in order for this to work. Write to Rosalie for her consent on us hiding in her kingdom before the ball so she would know ahead of time. Remember how Alice reacted on us hiding in the stables? It might be the same with Rosalie. I know you don't entirely want her to know about us but it's the only way. She's your best friend and sister so this shouldn't be challenging, unless she tells Edward. I pray that she wouldn't. I'll be thinking about you always.

Love always,

PJ

I sighed, knowing that he was entirely right about the meeting; it was our only way to escape. But I was still married to Emmett, which is a problem. I grabbed a piece of paper and a quill to write. Jasper was right about Rosalie in the letter how she would have reacted. I started to write in my messy writing.

Rose,

I need you to help me. You see, at the ball, Jasper and I want to hide in your kingdom so we could be together. Jasper and I are irrevocably in love but the conflict is that I can't run away with the guards surrounding me so the ball was a way for Jasper and me to escape. Please understand that I had to hide it for a long time since there was no way of telling you. Alice found out by seeing us in the stables but she didn't react very well to the situation. Jasper told me that it was better to tell you before we hide and you find us unexpectedly. Please don't tell your husband or he'll probably tell Emmett. I can't afford to fail my escape or I'll be miserable for the rest of my life. I love you Rosalie and I know I can depend on you. Reply to let me know where we can hide or if you don't want us to hide.

Your sister,

Bella

I placed the letter into the envelope, shutting the envelope as much as possible so no one can read it. I put on my silky robe that was delivered from china as a wedding present from Emperor Quil since it was quite chilly.

I ran out of my room to find any servant to deliver it. I looked around the hallways, looking down the balcony near the staircase. I found servant named Lady Anne, coming up the stairs with a breakfast tray and food in the hands. I walked to her as she had a questioned face placed upon her.

"Oh, Queen Bella," she curtsied, "here's your breakfast dear."

"Thank you, Lady Anne," I addressed her, "but I need you to do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"I need you to find someone to deliver this letter to Queen Rosalie," I showed her the letter, handing it to her, "and if my husband asks you about the letter, not one word about it. Is that clear?"

"Yes, your majesty, as soon as I placed this tray in your chambers. You can't go all day with nothing to eat," she reminded me. I sighed, nodding. She curtsied, walking away with my tray into my chambers.

I walked down the stairs gently, placing my hand on the railing for my support. I saw Emmett talking to Duke Charles, walking around down stairs. I continued to go down, hoping that he wouldn't see me walking. I haven't talked to him since the wedding because I couldn't look at him. He nearly destroyed Jasper, which was unacceptable so I vowed not to speak to him unless I was forced. It's insane to not talk to my husband but it's something I can't allow myself to do. If only the ball was sooner.

Suddenly, I felt agony in my belly, something wrong entirely. I gasped in pain, shouting since the pain couldn't be controlled. It was indescribable on what I was feeling. I felt as if it was my turn to die with the amount of agony taking over my body.

Lady Anne immediately ran to the stairs along with Duke Charles and Emmett running upstairs. I looked down at my robe to see blood staining the silk. I gasped that I was too stunned to believe. It was a miscarriage.

I was still gasping in pain, sobbing about the pain and that I lost something that belonged to Jasper and me. Lady Anne immediately cleaned the blood and wrapped the dead fetus with a woolen blanket. She went down stairs to get it out of my sight.

I continued to sob while Emmett carried me back to my room, trying to calm me down. "Don't worry, we could produce more children while we are still young," he whispered while I kept sobbing. It was gone, really gone. How am I going to tell this to Jasper?


It was the day of the ball as I brushed my luxurious curls gently with my comb with Lady Anne in my chambers. It was the afternoon with the sun reflecting from my window to absorb the heat. She was lecturing me about how Emmett acts around woman. He thinks he's been with another women but I wasn't concerned about it. It never hit me that I would desire him to come into my chambers to make love. We have before but it was nothing compare to when I was with Jasper. It was a different feeling.

"He was looking at one of the mistresses name Lady Mary. She has the perfect figure so it was no problem for him with golden hair like the gold of his crown with emerald eyes and fair skin. She is a nice girl but I never imagined she was willing to fool around with his knickers. Aren't you concerned?" She asked me in shock of my reaction didn't change.

"Devastated," I replied sarcastically but she didn't sense my tone. She was pacing around my room with an anxious look on her face, fiddling with her fingers.

"Do you want your husband to find a new wife?" she pointed out while I rolled my eyes, "he will if he falls for her."

"I don't think he has any affectionate towards her because if he did, I would probably have noticed it during the meals," I assured her, concentrating on combing my hair.

"He might be having a concealed relationship with this woman," she gasped, placing her pale hands onto her rosy cheeks. Her tangled brunette curls showed that she was panicking for me, even though I wasn't even concerned since he was nothing.

"Lady Anne, there's no reason to panic for my sake. I shall talk to him about it later but for now, I need to get ready for the ball," I got up from my chair to let her put my dress on me. I took off my dress I was wearing with remaining my corset and tights. She was tightening my corset again by tying it again. I stuck in my stomach as I felt the agony from the corset.

"Do you yearn your unborn child?" she asked me casually. I frowned with the memory coming back to my mind. Jasper's child was the only thing I had of him and now I lost it.

"Well, now it's easier to move around and not eat so much but yes, I wanted the unborn child," I admitted as she finished tying my corset. She went to my closet while I remained still standing there. She walked back with a red dress with golden patterns. She placed it over my head for me to get it through as I stretched my arms up. She slid the dress down until the edges of the dress were on the ground. I looked down to see it made me look slender than I looked a week ago with my chest paler when I looked at my necklace I received years ago that matched with the dress. I haven't been outside so the sun could reach my face for weeks it seemed.

I walked out of my room as Lady Anne followed me. I walked through the hallways thinking that I get to see Jasper again and runaway. I walked down the stairs with Emmett waiting for me patiently as a gentleman. When I reached the bottom, I wrapped my arm around his as we walked to the carriage.

"Try to remain close to me tonight," he whispered in my ear.

"How can I interfere with your politics that make me so weary? I prefer dancing," I replied as he helped me into the carriage.

"With whom?" he got into the carriage, closing the door. The carriage started to move as the horseman controlled the horses to move.

"No one in particular, whoever asks me," I told him, as he was right across from me.

"Like Prince Jasper," he sneered while I rolled my eyes, "I forbid you to even be near him. He may be a prince but he doesn't have my trust."

"If he dares to ask me, I shall accept it as being a Queen or just a general invitation. Nothing is going to harm your kingdom by it."

"As your husband, for my sake, will you please just stay away from him?"

"What did he do to you other than challenge you to a duel that you won? He won't hurt me since he's a gentleman with proper manners. If you want me to be your wife, you need to learn to trust me."

"I do, I just don't trust him. Please Bella."

"Alright for your sake but I want to reunite with my sisters if that isn't a crime."

"Not at all. You get to see Eddie." I nodded as he smiled. I knew this was going to be a long trip that wasn't very exciting with the man that will be my enemy until my freedom. I felt like I was trapped in a birdcage, which was the feeling every waking moment that Emmett had been around me but it was closer than usual. I gulped, hoping he didn't sense me being uncomfortable in the carriage or he would ask me what I was thinking or why do I look so strange. I don't even want to speak but have the sound of horses walking on the dirt.


We arrived, walking on the road to the palace doors. My arm was wrapped around his but I didn't even glance at him when he did. I just looked out straight to the door, focusing on figuring out how to escape Emmett's side. It was nighttime with torches light up the pathway for everyone to be able to see his or her way. Many dukes and duchesses arrived with an amiable greeting from King Edward's servants as they entered into the palace. I suddenly thought about my ride in the carriage.

The ride was peaceful, no eye contact or any conversation had been built. We just stared out of the window as complete strangers, staring at nature with fresh leaves and smell of lavender. The sun blinded my sight but it was better than to look inside again. It was pleasant to be able to think about my thoughts without any interruptions. Where would Jasper and I go when we run away? I knew I had to do it but never thought out any plan on living.

"Good evening, your majesty," the servant greeted that startled me. He gave me a bow gracefully with his entire back leaned forward. I gave him a nod as Emmett and I entered inside the palace.

It was overflowing with dancers, musicians, and dukes with goblets in their hands while discussing politics. The duchesses were standing around away from the dukes, making conversation by themselves. I spotted King Edward having a conversation with someone I didn't know with a concern look on his face. Renesmee was there, talking to Alice next to a china desk with glasses in their hands filled with wine. I walked over there to greet Alice since I haven't spoken to her in weeks and I missed her dearly. She saw me approach my way towards her with a smile on my face.

"Queen Bella," she greeted, giving me a big hug as I hugged her back. Renesmee walked away from us with a glare from her furry eyebrows, walking properly to join another conversation. I knew she still considered me as an enemy so the greeting wasn't astonishing.

We broke apart when we saw Renesmee joining in a dance with a complete stranger. "Don't mind her, she's been very cantankerous ever since you left."

"What happened, Alice? I know she despises me but I figured that it wouldn't matter anymore ever since I got married," I told her, bewildered while she frowned at me. I raised my thin line eyebrow while she looked back at Renesmee.

"Ever since the duel with Prince Jasper and King Emmett, she's been furious, throwing items around her room. I heard her crying every night alone in her room without anyone coming in to check on her. I did one night but she refused to see me. I refused to leave but she ended up throwing something at me that made me close her door. Father has not been well, in fact, worse than when you left. The servants told me that he could die any moment during that day. Renesmee sobbed for hours while I waited down stairs, hoping that he would live. I remembered that we had to leave so I gathered everyone that was attending the ball to the carriage. Then we arrived here all together."

"Where's Rosalie?"

"She's over there talking to Prince Jasper," she pointed him out as I immediately spotted him.

"Thank you." I walked away from her towards them. I walked through crowds to get to them as they were talking in a corner. They both saw me coming closer to them as Jasper gave me a smile while Rosalie was just content. I stood next to Jasper and Rosalie forming a triangle.

"Bella, do you really want to do this?" she asked me, concerned.

"I do. I can't bare being near Emmett anymore. I can't stand this royalty or laws that have to be followed."

"Is it safe for you?" he asked me concerned. I knew what he was talking about which made me frown.

"Jasper, I had a miscarriage. I apologize." my eyes grew watery as his eyes widened. He gave me hug as I hugged him back, burying my face onto to his chest, sobbing. His fingers went through my hair with his lips on my forehead. We finally broke apart the hug as I looked directly into his eyes.

"It's alright. It's easier now and we have a lifetime to have more children. Rosalie, are you going to help us or not?" He looked over to Rosalie as she sighed deeply. I looked at her, waiting for her response.

"I'll help you for the sake of my sister. But father will die when he hears that you ran away."

"He's strong and determined, nothing will stop him from surviving the illness that's killing him. Where are you planning on hiding us?" He asked her while I nodded in agreement.

"Just trust me on this. Now follow me."
